I think he's talking about the incident where a bunch of cars got damaged as the ship was off loading, inlcuding several M3s.

Yikes! What would really suck is if you had an ED car on there. You already drove it a bit, broke it in a little, and then boom it's totaled and you're waiting for a new one.

My car was released to the carrier and on its way to the port today. Hope it does not sit to long before boarding the ship.
Production # 6690***
My car will be going to Port Hueneme on the west cost. It looks like there are not to many west coast 1 series deliveries in week 17.
The wait continues. And you guys that are posting that you received your car, you make me sick!

if your car gets on a ship in the next couple of weeks, mid-July would be a stretch. you should be prepared to get it earlier.

Yikes! The 1er in that photo looks just like my order! Lucky (so far) for me, mine just finished production and is en route to the ship. Might be on the truck with some of the other vehicles here!

I think I am sharing boats with you guys... I did ED and dropped off in Zurich on the 15th. I assume I'm going to port Hueneme (I think, to boulder, colorado) but can't get any status out of the 800 number other than "In Transit".

I'm putting my VIN into the nykline tracker and still come up empty as of today. Maybe ED deliveries use a different company?

john970,
vin tracking will not show up with nykline. i've tried b/l number too and that doesn't work. try giving them a call at (310) 618-6070.

did you try the wwl website? there are some wwl ships that go to hueneme.

the easy way is to find out is from your CA. the status inquiry report will show your vessel.

Does in-transit mean it is on a boat? I have been in transit on the 800# since last week. I'm guessing for ED this just means some carrier has it (not necessarily a boat).

Not sure about ED, but for regular orders when your car goes "in transit" it means it's on a ship.

Okay, just talked to my CA. Car was finished on 4/22, currently waiting at Bremerhaven to get on a boat. Got my VIN number and he confirmed it's going through NJ (CT dealer) and should be ready by 'end of 3rd week of May' for pick-up. Wooohoooo. Now need to find that cash...er loan...lol

Man you east coasters are lucky! My car was built a week before yours (4/17) and I'm still sitting on the dock. My best case scenario is the first week of June at this point.
